There's various new features that were shown in the reveal trailers (copcars, mp9, even a flash shot of a moving square utility truck) and on launch they're missing and we haven't heard a peep. This happened before too, where we saw driving-pistoling in live trailers but didn't hear a peep about it for months until it finally went live.

Is there a communication gap occurring? Are these features planned to go live alongside the others but are pulled, and the comms aren't updated? Delays are fine but we'd like info on things

When we do these big trailers, it's usually for like, I guess you could say the "season". Pillar Car, MP9, deployable shield, hell, some other stuff... - it's all coming, just not at map launch. MP9 is ruthless btw...

For me, it has to do with the map's variety! There's always something new to see and explore.

What was the biggest challenge u guys had during the proccess of creating such a big map like Deston?

Btw I love the details of the buildings…

We on it! Should be fixed by 19.1...

With the successful launch of Deston and the overwhelming positive support for the new map, what does this mean with future maps and events for PUBG, does this put more pressure on the team and its creative abilities.

My goal for every release is to do it better than last time.

Firstly congrats on Deston, map is looking stunning! Hope to see it soon on ranked que. For the question, this looks like great 8x8 map that could be added to competitive PUBG esport, while creating Deston do you look on competitive side of the game and how map would perform in that environment? If yes, what's the process behind it?

PC (MaM1c)

So we let the community drive this decision, we never want to force a map into competitive. Let me ask you, why should Deston be included in Ranked, or even PUBG esport?

Is their any update of increasing the vehicles?

Great question- so right now we have vehicle spawn parity with Miramar, so I think it's less about increasing spawns, and more about playing with ratios (probably a few too many airboats) and locations (getting them into better spots).

This is a constant pain point we've heard from you guys- so the team is on it!

- Have you considered adding this map to ranked games?

- What was the hardest part of creating this map?

- What is your favourite part of the map?

- Will fuel pump be added to other maps?

In my opinion this new map is 9.8/10

PC (STEAM), xReedi

Got a few answers for ya. I'm glad you are liking the map.

- We are looking into increasing vehicle spawn rates/locations.

-Hardest part of the map was finding that right balance between all the biomes and unique locations. We wanted it to feel like it all fit in the map while providing a variety of gameplay styles/interactions.

- My favorite part of the map is Lodge. I love the different looks and the intense CQB combat of moving through the space.

I'm glad you're liking the new content.

We're constantly striking a balance between optimization and adding support for new features (both gameplay and hardware). Often times a new API can be released that changes the venn diagram of which hardware configurations play the nicest with PUBG's engine and renderer. A no-brainer addition can be a gain in one area and a step back in another. We constantly want be making advancements with PUBG's graphics support so players can take full advantage of their systems, but doing so is a processing of learning how best to support everyone's rig.

My question is what are you esch most excited for regarding Deston? Either currently released weapons, vehicles or features or anything that may be released at a later date? Thanks, CodyTrahan Xbox

For me its playing with my buddies again, being able to hop on during the weekend and get some squads games in has been awesome. Seeing the love and feedback is just great, and I am very excited for console to get it soon.

I think this would be a rad game mode.

Could the experience of players who have been level 500 for a long time be rewarded in some way? I mean, for example, if there are players who accumulate the necessary experience for a level 1000, 2000 (doing the calculation) or more, they could receive an exclusive reward for those levels (skins) or a bonus of Bp or G-coins. Or increase that limit to 500, to somehow allow veteran players to continue to explicitly see their progress in the game.

We need something man, we can't say "please play forever" and be like "here is a hard cap, gg". I don't know if that's expanding the cap, maybe a prestige system, but I want to make sure we are spotlighting your grind! Thank you for the question/suggestion.

I agree with PUBG_Chris. There is always that pressure, but it presents a fun challenge to tackle each time. Keeps the creativity going.

Ok Caleb Zart, since the game likes to imitate reality because we still don't have the movement of rolling while lying down that would help to erase a Molotov received in the body, overcome barriers in stealth mode or be able to dodge shots if snipers from a distance?

Imitating reality isn't the same as being constrained by it. Just because something is real doesn't mean it's fun. That has to be kept in mind always! Many of these things are specific design choices to support the gameplay in the best way possible.

Hi devs, really enjoying the new map. It’s easily in my top three next to Taego and Erengel. Anyway, something I’d love to see in the game is more hostile entities. I’d be cool to have wild animals like crocodiles in the swamp, or maybe guards that protect locked trucks, or maybe even some kind of natural storm like a tornado that make it difficult for you to get to your desired drop. Have you guys ever had some sort of plan like this? What were the issues you ran into implementing them? Was it just too much for the engine to handle? Thanks!

PUBG is always pushing the limit of its platform constraints given 100 players on a 8x8 map. We have a constant focus on optimization in order to add cool new features to the game. Wildlife can be challenging due to the naïve implementation being a skeletal mesh with animation and pathfinding. There's a certain level of resources needed when dealing with those type of assets. However there are clever ways to optimize even these complex assets (such as baking animation into a vertex shader and getting rid of skeletal bones altogether), so it's likely we'll see more implementations of wildlife in the future.

Specific question to Caleb Zart. Regarding animation.

One of The biggest criticism facing pubg these days is that the animation is sluggish and floaty.

Question 1 Is that by design or is that a limitation of pubg’s current engine/architecture

Question 2 The parachute in Deston is great but I feel it lacks the agility to lunge off rooftops. Could this be improved. Could we see winged suits even?

1) There are a whole host of things that affect how character motion feels. We are looking to address some of this in the upcoming Animation Refresh, but we have to be careful to not impact game pacing and balance. PUBG's slower, tactical pace is a specific design choice that animation needs to support.

2) I'm not sure I know what you mean about lunging off roof tops. Are you looking for a way to get away from the building faster? A wingsuit could certainly do the trick. Something to think about for sure!

Thanks for the feedback!

Dude we had so much graffiti, sadly, it had to go while we were doing performance/optimization. I did a lot of graffiti for Miramar, Vikendi, Haven, Erangel - it's fun, and we had some good stuff for Deston. But the good news is, it's not in the map, but still exists. As we continue to tweak/optimize/find gains, there is a world where it can come back and add even more grit/life to the map.
